Stand down! Stand down!nWhy do you build your towers?nMy best defensesnfall apart at my weakest hoursnI try and I try to build these walls up to the skynBut all I have become is a walking, breathing empire of liesnnBury my body, my corpse-shaped seed nStart all over, just like a treenMy bones like rootsnmy tongue like leavesnWill grow back deepernTrees they grow back strongernHearts they grow back strongernThey will grow back meekernand I will grow back strongernnWake up! Wake upnWe are all on firenWe're walking torches fueled by our own desiresnAnd I'm am no exceptionnI'm the perfect formulaic, failure combinationnToo much confidencenThree parts desperationnI'm going to sever my head to get a different point of viewnnThis is the pride before the fallnI'm waving my skinnlike a white flagnTear down your castle wallsnSpeak now the story of us all
